Chris Abrahams & Alessandro Bosetti — We Who Had Left (CD)

The dispositive in place here is simple: a grand piano, a sampler with deliberately confusing sound sources and a voice.

Compositional ideas are based on canovacci, simple fragments to be improvised on: a pool of few notes, a jazz standard, a short string of words, a nondescript field recording as well as one of Bosetti’s speech melodies are among the humble seeds upon which this duo builds towering and kaleidoscopic architectures.
